Odd play/slipping when starting and stopping.

I recently purchased a very nice 99 V6 Auto 2WD Access Cab Prerunner, one owner, 160k mi. Everything is flawless but a minor slip/play when I stop hard or let off the brake fast from a stop. I can stop and start in a conservative manner to avoid the slip/play, but that is not always possible. When it occurs, I can see the shifter buck back and forth somewhat. All of the shifts are flawless, so I do not believe it is internal to the trans. There is no play in the U joints or the carrier bearing. I do have about 1.0 to 1.25 inches of play when I push up on the trans. and there is a gap in the area around the rod in the trans. mount. I have read a few other posts regarding axle wrap?? My leafs do not appear to be 'flat' per say. Thank you for your advice.

 

Is this another one of those 'cool-guy', 'in-crowd' blogs??? Well, I feel totally unwelcome. 62 views of my post, and not a single reply. Seems pretty dicky around here??

 

Don't Know you might be that guy who has the new problem none of us have any exp with.

Welcome to Tacoma World, as Cypher said, I don't think anyone is trying to be a dick. Just unsure of the problem. Try to describe the problem a bit more. What seems to be slipping, the brakes, the tranny? Are there accompanying noises or vibrations? Little more information could help.
